However, what happens when you get older? Does it go grey? What can I do to keep it neat when I'm older but without the greyness?Obviously of I stop trimming nothing will go grey and it'll stay a nice youthful colour, but I like to trim but worry about they grey.If anyone can help me out here itd be interesting to hear your thoughts :-) :-) :-)

 Why do you think that if you stop trimming it your pubic haor won't go gray ?!
Do you also think that if you never cut your head's hair and let it goow knee length , it will never become gray ?...
Yes, pubic hair becomes gray . And if you stop trimming it- you'll just hav LONG gray pubic hair.

 Worse.
It turns bright orange, then purple. And it frizzes up into little clumps, like horrible Mardi Gras cauliflower appetizers….
Then it grows so long, it tries to braid itself around your private bits, but not before tweeting on your behalf. "Lolz, Jennie's gone grey, totes grey, her sex life is OVA."
Okay, I'm embellishing a bit.
You're in your 20s. You have decades to go before you have to worry about this particular issue.
Yes, some of it goes grey. Sometimes, it just stops growing, so you don't have to worry about shaving or trimming.
It's kind of like the hair on your head. You can dye it, you know. They have dyes specifically designed for your pubic hair.
Hair turns grey when the follicle that produces the hair no longer produces the color along with the hair. Trimming the hair has nothing to do with the follicle, so you can trim to your heart's content. Basically, what's happening in the pubic hair follicle happens in your head hair as well. Cutting or trimming hair changes nothing in the cells that produce the hair, because hair is basically an extruded set of dead cells. Isn't that a lovely thought? :)
Now, the good news is that as you age, and things turn grey or wrinkle, your eyesight also starts to change and generally, you can't see as well as you used to be able to.
Relax. It's a natural part of aging. Trim it if you want to but that won't change the fact that some of the hair follicles no longer will produce pigment.

 yes it goes gray....
good for you for asking my biggest fun is whispering that to my young girl friends...
there are two ways to keep it neat without the grayness (and it will go gray no matter what you do to it)
you can wax it all off
or
you can dye it.
otherwise you will have gray once it happens.
btw your chest and arm hair will also gray.
